RE: [obc] Why looking for new TT course, really?
I was just floating an idea - we really are so lucky in having the use of the parkway but we are so dependent on external influences over which we have no control. Right now, its a matter of the road surface, but for the future there's always the possibility of a new museum, marina, sewage treatment plant or housing development going in, bringing with it the need for another interchange -Original Message- From: Datars Sally [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:47 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [obc] Why looking for new TT course, really? Hi Paul, In the thread about the Parkway bike paths, Les said something about finding a new TT route, if the NCC doesn't sharpen up. I don't know what he meant by that but that's what got things going. I agree with you, let's stick with the Rockcliffe Parkway.

Did I miss something here? Has the NCC said we can't use the parkway, or was this started with Dave's posting about it being bumpy on his last (still winter) ride? I agree it gets worse and worse each year, but Dave rode the parkway just a few days ago, and it's still buckledits still cold. When the weather gets warm, the buckles become just cracks. No doubt it progressively gets worse, but I think finding a new venue is just a bit premature. Asticou, 2km loop? that will never work for a 15 km TT.

RE: [obc] Why looking for new TT course, really?
Speaking of a new museum, the Aviation museum is going to be putting in another building, a hangar. And although I don't know exactly where it's going to be I'm sure we're going to see a lot of construction vehicles on the parkway. http://www.aviation.nmstc.ca/Eng/News/pr150501.htm When we'll see this extra traffic is unknown to me We'll see how this affects the TT series.

[obc] Gatineau Park conditions
Just got back from the Gatineau. The snow condition is very good. The main trails has been groomed. Secondary trails that I was on has NOT been touched by the NCC. Condition on the secondary trails varies. In general, there is 10-30cm of loose snow on a lightly crusted base and may have been tracked by people (though not 18 or 20 as of 2PM). Any pre-existing people tracks on these trail has been covered over by blowing snow. Wide skis are a good idea for secondary trails until NCC gets around to packing them with a snowmobile.

David It's more than likely that construction traffic would be restricted to the Aviation Parkway, and it's even possible it would be allowed only to use the stretch from ?Hemlock? Having said that, the fastest TT courses in the UK are on very busy roads - a steady stream of gravel trucks for an hour in the evening might improve our PB's! -- Peter James Ottawa, Ontario -- Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
